![]() Features a storyline unrelated to the previous Monster Strike the Animation seasons. The titular Past Lives relates to the Korean concept of in-yeon, which Nora explains to Arthur as the strands that bind two people who meet one another throughout all their previous incarnations: the attraction between two lovers is so strong because of everything built up between them in their past lives. The lonely dragon Oragon is called upon to help save the Strike World from annihilation and hear tales of the legendary monsters that will help him, including the fallen angel Lucifer, the Knight of Knights Arthur, the mage princess Solomon, and more. But it’s a testament to the restrained performances by Lee and Yoo, and director Song’s subtle and deliberate portrayal of these characters, that we invest so deeply into their relationship. Past Lives couldn’t work if we didn’t buy into that attraction between the two lead characters, which is never explicitly addressed on-screen. And yet, she’s innately aware of an intangible attraction that threatens her sense of control. Nora is a character of agency who is comfortable charting her own course in life, and doesn’t give in to whimsical notions of fate or love. Like its lead character, Past Lives is too practical to be drawn into romantic tropes that might easily make their way into the Hollywood version of this story. Hae Sung has also moved on, but he’s separated from his girlfriend, and after 24 years, plans a trip to New York City to finally catch up with his old friend. The pair strike up a newfound friendship over Skype, and maybe something a little more… but the distance between them becomes to much for Greta to handle, and she puts a halt to their communication.Īnother twelve years pass, and Nora is married to the kind Arthur ( John Magaro), who she met at a writer’s retreat. Twelve years later, Nora is an aspiring writer and New York university student who looks up Hae Sung on Facebook on a whim, only to find that he has also been searching for her. But when the pair part ways forever with a simple “bye” later on, something is left unresolved. Knowing that her daughter will soon be embarking on a new life, Nora’s mother arranges a meeting that ends with the 12-year-olds holding hands in the back of a car. She is very skillfully martially seen when he completely humiliated Arthur in close combat).Early scenes cover Nora and Hae Sung’s innocent childhood romance, and most touching, a first date. ![]() Intelligence: High (Has many years of experience, as a Decemvir she must be an exotic battle leader since she has an entire army as a crew.
